The following prayers and recommended devotional acts have been quoted from Shaykh al-Tusi’s famous book of Misbah al-Mutahajjid and other reference books.
After you say the Taslim statement—the closing part of the ritual prayers—
repeat the Takbir statement (i.e. allahu akbar; Allah is the Greatest) three times while raising your hands to the level of your ears and then say:
لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ
la ilaha illa allahu
There is no god save Allah;
إِلَهاً وَاحِداً
ilahan wahidan
One and Only God;
وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ
wa nahnu lahu muslimuna
and we are submissive to Him.
لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ
la ilaha illa allahu
There is no god save Allah
وَلاَ نَعْبُدُ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ
wa la na`budu illa iyyahu
and we worship none save Him,
مُخْلِصينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ
mukhlisina lahu alddina
making our devotion sincere as in His sight,
وَلَوْ كَرَهَ ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ
wa law kariha almushrikuna
even though the polytheists may detest it.
لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ
la ilaha illa allahu
There is no god save Allah;
رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّ آبَائِنَا ٱلأَوَّلِينَ
rabbuna wa rabbu aba'ina al-awwalina
(He is) Our Lord and the Lord of our fathers of old.
لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ
la ilaha illa allahu
There is no god save Allah;
وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ
wahdahu wahdahu wahdahu
Alone, alone, alone.
أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ
anjaza wa`dahu
He has truly fulfilled His promise,
وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ
wa nasara `abdahu
granted His servant victory,
وَأَعَزَّ جُنْدَهُ
wa a`azza jundahu
made powerful His soldiers,
وَهَزَمَ ٱلأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ
wa hazama al-ahzaba wahdahu
and defeated the parties alone.
فَلَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ
falahu almulku wa lahu alhamdu
So, sovereignty be His and praise be His.
يُحْيي وَيُميتُ
yuhyi wa yumitu
He grants life and causes (others) to die,
وَيُميتُ وَيُحْيي
wa yumitu wa yuhyi
and (then) causes to die and raises from the dead;
وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لاَ يَمُوتُ
wa huwa hayyun la yamutu
while He is eternally ever-living and He never dies.
بِيَدِهِ ٱلْخَيْرُ
biyadihi alkhayru
All goodness is at His Hand,
وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْء قَديرٌ
wa huwa `ala kulli shay'in qadirun
and He has power over all things.
allahumma inni as'aluka min kulli khayrin ahata bihi `ilmuka
O Allah, I beseech You to grant me part of all good things that are encompassed by Your knowledge
wa a`udhu bika min khizyi alddunya wa `adhabi alakhirati
and I seek Your protection against the disgrace of this world and the chastisement in the Next World.
وَأَعوُذُ بِوَجْهِكَ ٱلْكَرِيـمِ
wa a`udhu biwajhika alkarimi
I also seek protection of Your Noble Face,
وَعِزَّتِكَ ٱلَّتِي لاَ تُرَامُ
wa `izzatika allati la turamu
Your invulnerable omnipotence,
walhamdu lillahi alladhi lam yattakhidh waladan
All praise be to Allah Who has not taken to Himself a son,
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَريكٌ فِي ٱلْمُلْكِ
wa lam yakun lahu sharikun fi almulki
nor has He had any partner in sovereignty,
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ
wa lam yakun lahu waliyyun mina aldhdhulli
nor does He need any to protect Him from humiliation.
وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبيراً
wa kabbirhu takbiran
And magnify Him with all magnificence.
Then, recite the Tasbih al-Zahra' litany.
Before you move from your prayer-place, repeat the following litany ten times:
It is narrated that a great reward is obtained by saying this litany,
especially after the Dawn (Fajr) and Evening (`Isha') obligatory Prayers and at sunrise and sunset.
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ
ash-hadu an la ilaha illa allahu
I bear witness that there is no god save Allah;
وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَريكَ لَهُ
wahdahu la sharika lahu
(He is) One and Only; and there is no partner with Him;
إِلَهاً وَاحِداً
ilahan wahidan
a Single God;
أَحَداً فَرْداً صَمَداً
ahadan fardan samadan
One, Unique, and eternally Besought of all.
لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَلاَ وَلَداً
lam yattakhidh sahibatan wa la waladan
He has taken to Himself neither a wife nor a son.
Then, say the following:
سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ كُلَّما سَبَّحَ ٱللَّهَ شَيءٌ
subhana allahi kullama sabbaha allaha shay'un
All Glory be to Allah whenever Allah is glorified by things,
وَكَمَا يُحِبُّ ٱللَّهُ أَنْ يُسَبَّحَ
wa kama yuhibbu allahu an yusabbaha
as exactly as Allah likes to be glorified,
وَكَمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ
wa kama huwa ahluhu
as exactly as He is worthy of glorification,
allahumma inni as'aluka an tusalliya `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
O Allah, I beseech You to send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا أَرْجُو
wa as'aluka min khayri ma arju
and I beseech You to grant me the best of what I hope
وَخَيْرِ مَا لاَ أَرْجُو
wa khayri ma la arju
and the best of what I have not included with my hopes.
وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَحْذَرُ
wa a`udhu bika min sharri ma ahdharu
I also beseech You to protect me against the evil of what I anticipate
وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لاَ أَحْذَرُ
wa min sharri ma la ahdharu
and the evils of what I do not anticipate.
Then, recite the following Qur'anic texts:
(1) Surah al-Hamd (i.e. al-Fatihah No. 1), (2) Ayah al-Kursi (2:255-257), (3) Verses of Bearing Witness (Ayat al-Shahadah; 3:18-19), (4) Verses of Kingdom (Ayah al-Mulk; 3:26-27), and (5) Verses of Subservience (Ayah al-Sakharah 7:54-56).
Then, repeat the following verses (Surah al-Saffat 37:180-183) three times:
as'aluka an tusalliya `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
I beseech You to send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,
وَ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ
wa an tu`tiqa raqabati mina alnnari
to deliver me from the Fire,
وَ أَنْ تُخْرِجَنِي مِنَ ٱلدُّنْيَا سَالِماً
wa an tukhrijani mina alddunya saliman
to cause me leave this world free (from liabilities),
وَتُدْخِلَنِي ٱلْجَنَّةَ آمِناً
wa tudkhilani aljannata aminan
to allow me to Paradise with security,
وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ دُعَائِي أَوَّلَهُ فَلاَحاً
wa an taj`ala du`a'i awwalahu falahan
and to make the beginning of my prayer successful,
وَ أَوْسَطَهُ نَجَاحاً
wa awsatahu najahan
the middle of it a gain,
وَآخِرَهُ صَلاَحاً
wa akhirahu salahan
and the end of it a prosperity.
إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ
innaka anta `allamu alghuyubi
Verily, You are the Knower of all unseen things.
According to al-Sahifah al-`Alawiyyah (a collection of Imam `Ali’s supplications), the following prayer is said after the obligatory prayers:
يَا مَنْ لاَ يَشْغَلُهُ سَمْعٌ عَنْ سَمْعٍ
ya man la yashghaluhu sam`un `an sam`in
O He Who is not distracted by a sound from hearing another sound!
وَيَا مَنْ لاَ يُغَلِّطُهُ ٱلسَّائِلُونَ
wa ya man la yughallituhu alssa'iluna
O He Who is not confused by the beseechers!
وَيَا مَنْ لاَ يُبْرِمُهُ إِلْحَاحُ ٱلْمُلِحِّينَ
wa ya man la yubrimuhu ilhahu almulihhina
O He Who is not annoyed by the insistence of those who entreat Him persistently!
أَذِقْنِي بَرْدَ عَفْوِكَ
adhiqni barda `afwika
(Please do) Make me taste the nice flavor of Your pardon
وَحَلاَوَةَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَمَغْفِرَتِكَ
wa halawata rahmatika wa maghfiratika
and the sweetness of Your mercy and forgiveness.
You may also say the following supplicatory prayer:
إِلٰهِي هٰذِهِ صَلاَتِي صَلَّيْتُهَا
ilahi hadhihi salati sallaytuha
O Allah, This is my prayer that I have just offered
لاَ لِحَاجَة مِنْكَ إِلَيْهَا
la lihajatin minka ilayha
on account of neither a need that You may have for it
وَلاَ رَغْبَةٍ مِنْكَ فِيهَا
wa la raghbatin minka fiha
nor a desire that You may have for it;
إِلاَّ تَعْظِيمَاً وَطَاعَةً
illa ta`ziman wa ta`atan
rather, it is only glorification of You, obedience to You,
وَإِجَابَةً لَكَ إِلَىٰ مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ
wa ijabatan laka ila ma amartani bihi
and response to You to carry out what You have ordered me to do.
إِلٰهِي إِنْ كَانَ فِيهَا خَلَلٌ أَوْ نَقْصٌ
ilahi in kana fiha khalalun aw naqsun
O my God: If there is a defect or a deficiency in my prayer,
مِنْ رُكُوعِهَا أَوْ سُجُودِهَا
min ruku`iha aw sujudiha
whether in the genuflection or the prostration;
فَلاَ تُؤَاخِذْنِي
fala tu´akhidhni
then, (please) do not reproach me for it;
وَتَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ بِٱلْقَبُولِ وَٱلْغُفْرَانِ
wa tafaddal `alayya bilqabuli wal-ghufrani
rather, confer upon me with Your acceptance (of it) and forgiveness (of me).
After accomplishment of the ritual prayers, you may also say the following , which the Holy Prophet taught to Imam `Ali Amir al-Mu'minin (peace and blessings be upon them) for developing memory:
subhana man la ya'khudhu ahla al-ardi bi-alwani al`adhabi
Glory be to Him Who does not inflict on the inhabitants of the earth various sorts of torture!
سُبْحَانَ ٱلرَّؤوُفِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
subhana alrra'ufi alrrahimi
Glory be to the Affectionate, the Merciful!
allahumma ij`al li fi qalbi nuran wa basaran
O Allah, (please) fill my heart with illumination, discernment,
وَفَهْمَاً وَعِلْمَاً
wa fahman wa `ilman
(faculty of) understanding, and knowledge.
إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَديرٌ
innaka `ala kulli shay'in qadirun
Verily, You have power over all things.

my descendants, my brethren-in-faith,
وَمَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي وَخَوَاتِيمَ عَمَلِي
wa ma razaqani rabbi wa khawatima `amali
all sustenance that my Lord has provided to me as sustenance, the results of my deeds,
وَمَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ
wa man ya`nini amruhu
and whomever I may concern about,
بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ
billahi alwahidi
(I seek for all these) the protection of Allah, the Single,
ٱلأَحَدِ ٱلصَّمَدِ
al-ahadi alssamadi
the One, and the eternally Besought of all
ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
alladhi lam yalid wa lam yulad
Who begets not, nor is He begotten;

wa lam yakun lahu kufwan ahadun
and the like of Whom there is none.
وَبِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ
wa birabbi alfalaqi

وَبِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ
wa birabbi alnnasi
And [I seek the protection of] the Lord of men,
مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ
maliki alnnasi
the King of men,
إِلٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ
ilahi alnnasi
the God of men,
مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ
min sharri alwaswasi alkhannasi
from the evil of the whisperings of the slinking (Satan),
ٱلَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ

It is narrated in an inscription handwritten by Shaykh al-Shahid that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Whoever desires that Almighty Allah will not show him his evildoings (that he did in this world) on the Resurrection Day and will not open the record of his evildoings, should say the following supplicatory prayer after each obligatory prayer:
